Very often, output changes must be done as fast as the power source can make them. This
means the transient list slew rate is set to its maximum value. If this is the case for all the data
points in the list, it is sufficient to set just the first data point's slew rate for either voltage and/or
current. Setting only the first point of any parameter in the list will automatically cause all points
for that parameter to be set to the same value. This saves a lot of data entry time. The max slew
rate can be set by entering a value of 0. When the enter key is pressed, the value will change to
"MAX".
If however, one or more data points require a specific slew rate such as needed to do a ramp, all
other points have to be specifically set to their required slew rates, including the maximum slew
rate.
Saving Transient Lists
Once completed, a transient sequence can be saved along with the steady state setup of the
instrument by using the REGISTER, SAVE menu. Registers that may be used for this purpose
are 1 through 15. It is advisable to do so, especially for longer transient lists.
